Sadly, when we began to work on this project in October
1998, the A.K.A. store and gas bar had to close up shop on account of a
terrible fire. It was a meeting place for many of the locals, to
drink coffee and enjoy the K.F.C. restaurant, as one local newspaper stated,
"It was the heart of the Community".
Fortunately, A.K.A. is currently being rebuilt, and has a tentative opening date of June 1, 1999. The K.F.C. restaurant will be included in the new building, as well as a new Pizza Hut franchise. For now, the owners are using a small trailer (above) as a gas bar, and have utilized an old gas pump to help gas sales.
